"They've changed their faces to please the patriarchy."

[highplainsdem]

Someone I follow on Bluesky reposted this...

They've changed their faces to please the patriarchy. It's not about what types of women those patriarchal men personally prefer; it's about showing those men that they are willing to submit. And it's a specific kind of look. It shows their willingness to be controlled.

1. That is so scary

[GopherGal]

6. OP should have had a trigger warning

for all the scary Merde-a-Lago-fied faces pictured!

I gotta go find some brain bleach!

[PatSeg]

13. Yeah, I've seen many of them before,

but they still freak me out.

I'll never understand how normal looking people would do stuff like that to their face. I know it is some form of dysmorphia that requires therapy, not surgery, but you'd think that once and awhile, they might see a reflection or a photo that might wake them up to how horrifying they look.

[Joinfortmill]

52. Hahaha

[Srkdqltr]

2. I can't believe that.

[niyad]

42. What, exactly, can you not believe in this little horror show?

[Srkdqltr]

47. The difference is awful. I can't believe someone would actually do that themselves. People are so wierd.

[niyad]

60. Some more so than others!

[johnp3907]

46. I can.

And do.

[Coventina]

3. They look like cadavers.

[highplainsdem]

9. Or puppets meant to be scary.

[Jerry2144]

40. Makes me think of the puppets in "Land of Confusion" video

by Genesis. They look freakishly bad and ugly. I guess the outsides now match the insides.

[lastlib]

17. Guilfoyle looks like a hellbeast out of a horror movie.

JEEZ, LouEEZE, that one gives me nightmares!

[Solomon]

80. They look like gargoyles.

[leftstreet]

4. Huh. Kristi Noem used to be attractive

I don't think I'd ever seen her much til recently. Why would she want to look like...whatever

Good grief these people are nutz

[Aristus]

18. Making the ugliness on the outside match the dog-killer ugliness on the inside.

n/t

[3catwoman3]

5. Who is the person in the middle right grouping?

[Deuxcents]

7. Jeff Bezo's wife...Ms Shanchez

[PatSeg]

14. The best Mar-a-lago face money can buy!

[llmart]

24. You'd think with all their access to money...

they could afford better plastic surgeons.

[PatSeg]

41. My thoughts as well

There are actors who we know have had work done, but they still look like themselves. Jane Fonda comes to mind, though I know there are others. Not sure if it has to do with the expertise of the surgeon or the demands of the client.

[whathehell]

57. They don't all look like plasic surgery patients to me..

a few do, but most just look like women who've applied makeup and /or changed their hairstyle..

[AZJonnie]

65. Karoline is the only one where I wouldn't bet a ton of money

that they've gone under the knife. The others are pretty dang obvious, though Lara's is the next most subtle, I still deem it unlikely to be natural. The other 7 (edit: Sorry, meant to say 4), it's absolutely glaring to me

[Bristlecone]

69. Her nose is redone I think.

But more to come I’m sure.

[whathehell]

71. I disagree, but regardless of the facts, I'd guess my

first question would be is "why does it matter"?...The last thing I'm concerned about in regard to these women is what they do with their faces.
The second would be about your experience and/ or expertise with plastic surgery.. I'm sorry, but I'm going to guess that in your case, and that of most here, it's little to none...just sayin'.

[AZJonnie]

72. You're right, not an expert, and if you are, I defer to your expertise :)

But I have watched a lot of people get older naturally, changed hairstyle and makeup, and it doesn't look like this. I suppose in particular I'm not 100% sure what the definition of plastic surgery is (like, do cheek implants count? Facelifts? Nose Jobs?), precisely, so that may a failure in my understanding. Perhaps some of these things they're doing to themselves is not permanent, like things that inflate lips and remove wrinkles and such. But I as I say apart from Leavitt (who def. seems to at least have had a nose job) and perhaps Lara Trump (of this set) I'm very confident at minimum there's injections of various agents, not just hairstyle and makeup changes. And no way have Loomer, Sanchez, and Guilfoyle not had serious surgery, they look way too different, and I'd suspect Noem has as well, but I'm not 100% 'up' on what's possible to do 'chemically'

[whathehell]

85. Lol..Hardly an "expert", but judging by the

quality of 'assessment' here, and a past job working for a plastic surgeon, I'll claim greater knowledge than most here..

That said, the greater point to me is its irrelevance. Women (and increasingly men) of all political stripes choose it, so I find the "shaming" of it a tad dated and juvenile.

[AZJonnie]

86. That's fair to say (n/t)

[allegorical oracle]

21. Sanchez and Loomer seemed to have taken the surgery the furthest -- Guilfoyle is third.

[Maru Kitteh]

8. Jeff Bezo's wife. Yikes.

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. You know which Republican women don't have that face?

Melania and Ivanka.

Just sayin’

[Alice B.]

11. Interesting! That never occurred to me til you said it.

Hunh.

[3catwoman3]

20. Melania may not have Mar-a-Lago face, but she doesn't look at all...

...like she did in her early modeling pictures.

https://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?p=melani+trump+face+before+and+after&fr=mcafee&type=E210US1641G0&imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.images.express.co.uk%2Fimg%2Fdyna

[Fla Dem]

66. Melania definitely went through the protocol. She like others ruined her looks.

Ivanka had her share of face work too. Luckily her looks weren't destroyed. Detailed explanation off the work
done on her face at link.

[3catwoman3]

75. Ivanka was actually quite plain as a child.

[JustAnotherGen]

76. She made herself

Look more like her mom.

[Joinfortmill]

53. I was thinking that, too.

[struggle4progress]

12. "Gosh! I wish I looked more like The Thing from Another World!"

[eppur_se_muova]

31. Well, *some* other world, anyway. nt

[Hugin]

15. I must not be part of the patriarchy then...

*blech* This reversal of before and after photos leaves me underwhelmed.

I may not have much of a future, but my Slime(tm) 12V Tire Inflator with super bright LED roadside safety light apparently does.

[AZJonnie]

16. To my eyes many of them now look more like they'd crack the whip and put their boot on a man's face than before

IOW, if this is the female "look" that the Mar A Lago male crowd prefers, one might argue it's because they're a bunch of closeted subby beta men (nothing wrong with that, to be clear, but I'm sure they don't like being called that, so I will).

That's leaving aside these ladies own personal motivations, which I'm disinclined to proclaim myself as an arbiter thereof, but the authors assessment def. seems plausible

[Joinfortmill]

54. Sex doll look. Ugly.

[ToxMarz]

58. Reminds them of the true love they moved on to when they graduated from defiling the sofa cushions

Never talked back and oh so pretty!

[stage left]

19. Good lord!

They look like the nightmare before Christmas.

[The Madcap]

22. So I guess I could just go get a tube of silicone caulk

And go into the "beautification" business. How could any of them like what they have become?

It would be interesting to know the spread of years between the photos to be able to account for normal aging.

[appleannie1]

23. I'll be doggone if I would make myself look like a freak to please anyone.

[Ars Longa]

25. They were much nicer looking before---oh well!

[Chellee]

32. That's what I don't get.

All of them were much better looking before. Four of them, legitimately quite pretty. None of them went to bad surgeons. They requested this look. Laura Loomer was a normal. average looking woman, and now she's actually frightening. Like children crying, horses rearing scary. Why would anyone want that? And who are the men that think this is attractive?

[Disaffected]

26. Good grief,

are they recasting for a Planet of the Apes sequel? Especially top left and lower right...

[GopherGal]

73. Those two you mention

appear to me to be the two that show a considerable over-infatuation with eye makeup. So those two might be reversible.

[cachukis]

27. Hard to face.

[dedl67]

28. Search 'fish faces' on Google and you will find some striking resemblances

[OMGWTF]

29. Faces by Temu

[canetoad]

30. They're all bad

But Kimberly Gargoyle is worst.

[Buddyzbuddy]

33. Just trying to make the outside match their personalities.

I'm guessing the plastic modelers (Doctors)
spent some time with them to get an understanding of the real person.

[Orrex]

34. Almost lifelike

[Swede]

35. They almost look lifel-like.

Almost.

[MissouriDem47]

36. Great Collection

Great Collection of Plastic surgery failures. Every one of them ruined their looks and they now look far worse than before.

[kimbutgar]

37. Self hating women to change their faces that way ! They look worst also with those unnatural fish lips

But they are probably brain poisoned by all those Botox fillers.

[eppur_se_muova]

38. Is this what they're aiming for ?

[hvn_nbr_2]

39. If those were "before" and "after" pics to advertise cosmetic surgery, ...

If those were "before" and "after" pics to advertise cosmetic surgery, I would think they mixed up the "before" and "after."

Surgery to make you look non-human? Sheesh.

[synni]

43. They should have had their work done in South Korea

At least SK surgeons know how to make people look human.

These women look as if they had their procedures done at the local 7-Eleven.

[BBbats]

44. Every One Of Them......

Was far more attractive before the change.
At least to me. Granted I should be the last to comment on one's looks but...,....

[2naSalit]

45. When did that...

Even become a 'look'? How did that ever become a 'look'?

[FakeNoose]

48. It's not just the Repuke women that are doing this over-Botoxing to themselves

This has been rampant among in Hollywood movie and TV stars for over 30 years. I can remember Lisa Rinna being one of the first, but there have been so many others!

[Jrose]

49. Their souls revealed by Botox

The evil and artificiality that dwells in those women's souls has been accelerated and brought to the surface by the magic of Botox.

[haryn]

51. AND..

Offended the rest of humanity.

[bluestateboomer]

55. Not one improvement

in the whole bunch. Sad

[spike jones]

56. I never understood why what Michael Jackson did to his face. He was a good-looking guy.

[LilElf70]

59. OMG

[Trueblue Texan]

61. they were once beautiful women before all the "work."

Now they look like the vile is oozing right out of their souls.

[maspaha]

62. They are frightening!

I want to know who the plastic surgeon was so I’ll know who NOT to have do work on my face!

[sop]

63. Plastic surgeon's ad: 'The Mar-a-Lago Face: Wealth, Power, and the Rise of America's Most Recognizable Elite Look'

"The $200K+ Power Face"

"This is the real deal— bold, architectural, and immaculately maintained. Every feature is sculpted with precision by top-tier facial plastic surgeons using the best techniques and technologies. Over the course of years, it’s refined with surgical interventions like deep plane facelifts, brow lifts, lip lifts, and hairline work—followed by strategic touch-ups with filler, botox, lasers, and skincare."

"The result? A face that whispers wealth, not fad."

"Investment: $200,000–$300,000 over a decade"

https://www.virginiafacialplasticsurgery.com/blog/the-mar-a-lago-face

[thought crime]

64. That made me jump!

[Sparkly]

67. "Sex dolls"

In so many ways, it's all part of the same thing.

[MagickMuffin]

68. I guess god has to play second fiddle, because he got kicked out of 1st chair

They weren't happy with the way "god" made them. I suppose god will have his revenge in the end of life stages!

[electric_blue68]

70. They were fairly to very pretty, but now? Yikes!

[mwmisses4289]

74. They uglified themselves.

You're right, most of them were somewhat pretty before they went for the gargoyle look.

[johnnyfins]

77. They're fucking ghouls now.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

78. These women destroyed their faces

I feel sorry for these ladies

[GoCubsGo]

79. Yikes.

All of them should have left well-enough alone.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

81. A cautionary tale, that's for sure.

[Blue Owl]

82. Gah!

[Ping Tung]

83. "What would men be without women? Scarce, sir...mighty scarce." Mark Twain

[pat_k]

84. And "the look" is so bizarre you almost can't help staring -- like rubber necking at a wreck (nt)
